Abstract

Within the Alqueva dam impact project (Guadiana basin, Portugal) an archaeometric approach has been done to several sites of various chronologies. This work presents results obtained for the chemical and mineralogical characterization of ceramics of two sites belonging to an Iron Age settlement network – Monte da Pata 1 (third-second century BC) and Castelo das Juntas (fourth-first century BC). Also potential local/regional raw materials were analysed. Ceramics from M. Pata 1 generally points to a local/regional production both the coarse ware (“local tradition”) and the grey ware. In the first
case exists a better correlation with clays resulting from the weathering of schists, located closer to the site, and grey wares are more related with
more basic rocks. Results obtained for ceramics from C. Juntas also indicates a local/regional production, especially clay materials resulting from the weathering of schists, also located very close to the site; in addition some pots point to the use of clays resulting from weathered basic rocks, such as diorites, gabbros and quartz-diorites. Thus, a continuity in ceramic production within the so called “local/regional pottery tradition”, both spatially and chronologically occurred.
